Here's an example (you'll have to edit the details of the Linux images
and appends):
boot=/dev/hda3
root=/dev/hda3
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
vga=normal
delay=20
# Linux
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.1.125
label=Linux
append="mem=96m aic7xxx=ultra parport=auto"
read-only
# Linux
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.33
label=Linux-33
append="mem=96m aic7xxx=ultra"
read-only
# Linux
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.34
label=Linux-34
append="mem=96m aic7xxx=ultra"
read-only
# Windows 95
other=/dev/hda1
label=Win95
After changing /etc/lilo.conf, be sure to run /sbin/lilo before you
shut down.
